Well my season at Davis is now over, i am back home in Bathurst, and now getting used to my usual home call of VK2ABP.

I would like to that everyone that i had a qso with during my time at Davis. It was such a wonderful experience, and i do hope to go back there some time in the future. As soon as I unpack my backup harddrives I will finalise the online logs for QSOs, and start getting the QSL info into the logs again (it has been a while i must admit).

Please keep your QSL cards coming in, it has been such a treat to see some of them already, and I look forward to seeing Allan VK2CA my QSL manager in the very near future so i can check out all the cards. I would like to thank Allan for his time as my QSL manager, it really was a load off my shoulders.

Once again, thanks to everyone I had a QSO with. If you hear me on the air (as VK2ABP) please do say hi.

Today, I have boarded the Aurora Australis and expect to be actually leaving Davis Station for Australia tomorrow. I hope to operate marine mobile on the way if I get a chance, but thus far am not sure if and when that will be. 

Aurora Australia in the ice

I have been here at Davis Station for just over 12 months, having arrived on 1 Nov 2008 and getting up on the air for first contact on 17 Nov 2008 and in that time i have had thousands of contacts with both VK0BP and AX0BP callsigns.
Thank you to all of you that have supported me, even if it was just a friendly email or a quick qso on hf. i have had a wonderful year here and hope to come back again in the future (perhaps in a few seasons time, and maybe to one of the other Australian bases).

Please keep those QSL cards coming through to my manager, it has been great to have such a response with the cards. Allan has done such a great job with this, so I take this chance now to thank him - Thanks Allan.

73 for now, perhaps will chat with my homecall VK2ABP once i get back to Australia
